PREFACE. 



The labor of writing such a book as is here presented, 
was not undertaken without a firm conviction that a 
work of this kind was really needed. Only upon the 
earnest solicitation of many professional friends, was the 
author prevailed upon to publish this volume. He has, 
therefore, as a guide to the druggist and the pharmacist, 
after many years of earnest study, labor and great expense, 
brought together a vast amount of information suitable, 
in every respect, to the wants of the compounder of new 
and elegant preparations. With this object in view, 
standard works on every subject connected therewith, 
have been carefully and freely consulted. 

Many of the working formulae found in this volume 
have been kindly donated by eminently successful 
pharmaceutical chemists, of great learning and wide ex- 
perience. 

Many of his own formulas, tested and repeatedly ma- 
nipulated in the Laboratories of Europe and America, 
and drawn from a practical experience of twenty years, 
will be found in this volume. 

"On all great subjects," says John Stewart Mill, "much 
yet remains to be said;" and this is equally true with 



4 PREFACE. 

respect to the subject before us, as with other sciences 
and departments of scientific investigation. 

Systematic treatises on the subject of what may be 
called the elegant preparations, have been so unreliable 
and costly, that a volume of this kind, with formula? 
tested and approved through a period of a busy life, can- 
not, it seems to the author, fail to meet with a fair share 
of public favor. 

His intention has been to exhibit this branch of in- 
dustry as it really exists in this year of our Lord, eighteen 
hundred and eighty, and not that of forty or fifty years 
ago — to bring it up to the high standard of recent invest- 
igation ; also, to place before the busy practitioner infor- 
mation which can alone be found in the private working 
formulae of the practical chemist, or in the huge, costly 
volumes of authors whose prolific pages one has to hunt 
through, in order to arrive at the knowledge of which 
they profess to be the vehicles. The subjects, in the 
volume before you, are so arranged that any desired item 
of information can be readily found, with scarcely more 
loss of time than would be entailed by reference to a 
dictionary. 

As an enterprising druggist, it is necessary that you 
should manufacture, yourself, the different kinds of tinc- 
tures, elixirs, syrups, perfumery, cosmetics, and, indeed, 
every delicate, important and costly article usually found 
in the stock of every respectable druggist. 

In conclusion, the author wishes to be fully understood 
that, on the whole, this book is but a compilation of for- 



PREFACE, 



mulae, gathered from an astonishingly large number of 
volumes, all of which no man's private library would be 
likely to contain. The merit, then, if in your judgment 
there be any, consists in the work of gathering and com- 
pressing, in the space of one volume, so large a fund of 
valuable information, and in words and formulae as brief 
as is consistent with clearness. 

To steer clear of the fault of saying too much, on the 
one hand, and too little on the other, was a work of no 
little trouble. The author is aware of many omissions 
which the reader will no doubt detect. He does not claim 
infallibility, as perfection is unattainable, and especially 
is this the case in the science of Pharmacy and Chemistry, 
as the goal of either, to-day, may be but the startling 
point of the morrow. 

Clearness, brevity, precision and accuracy have been 
the aims of the author, and how far he has succeeded, 
after a careful perusal of this work, judge ye. 

The words of the philosopher covers the case : "To 
rest short of his own aims, is incident to every man whose 
views are comprehensive and whose fancy is lively; 
neither is any man satisfied with himself because he has 
done much, but because he can conceive little." 

The Author. 
Springfield, Ills., June 1st, 1880. 



PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



Upon presenting this, the second edition, to my brother 
druggists, a few words will not be out of place. The 
generous favor with which the first edition has been 
received, and its ready sale, are convincing proofs that 
such a work was needed. It is with pleasure I now 
present for your favorable notice, in its new dress, and 
thoroughly revised, this second edition ; free, I trust, from 
many of the errors and imperfections which will, of 
almost a certainty, be found in any new work. Of its 
usefulness little need be said, as the many words of kind 
encouragement I have received will amply show. It is 
not the aim or intention of the author to supply the place 
of the United States Pharmacopoeia, or text books of like 
character, but to furnish a work of ready reference and 
compilation of unomcinal formulae, as well as those of an 
officinal character, from the cream of the drug and medical 
publications of the world, that will be of use to the profes- 
sion. The author will devote his future time to the 
collection of additional matter, which will be issued in 
supplement form from time to time, thus placing before 
the busy druggist, in a convenient shape, all formulae 
that are new and desirable, thereby saving him much 
valuable time and money. The Author.

TABLE OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 

Avoirdupois Weight. 

1^ drams (dr.) make 1 ounce, written oz. 
16 ounces " 1 pound, " lb. 

25 pounds " 1 quarter, " qr. 

4 quarters " 1 hundred weight, written cwt. 

20 hundred weight make 1 ton, written T. 

Note 1. — The standard avoirdupois pound of the U. S. 
is the weight taken in the air of 27 '^ cubic inches of dis- 
tilled water at a temperature of 39^-degrees F., the 
barometer being at 30 inches. 

Note 2. — Medicines are usually bought and sold by 
this weight. 

Note 3. — The pound avoirdupois contains 7C00 grains. 
The ounce avoirdupois contains 437 J grains. 



10 TABLE OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 

Troy Weight. 

24 grains (gr.) make 1 pennyweight, written pwt, 
20 pennyweight " 1 ounce, oz. 

12 ounces " 1 pound, lb. 

Remark. — The troy pound adopted by the U. S. is 
equal to the weight taken in air of 22^-^ cubic inches 
water. 

The pound troy contains 5760 grains. 
The ounce " " 480 " 



Apothecaries' Weight. 

20 grains (gr.) make 1 scruple, written 3 . 

3 scruples " 1 drachm, " 3. 

8 drachms " 1 ounce, " f. 

12 ounces " 1 pound, " lb. 

Remark. — In this weight the pound, ounce and grain 
are the same as troy weight. 

It often happens that a druggist is called upon to 
change a quantity from one weight to its equivalent in 
another, which, at the best, is tedious. I append a rule 
for effecting such a change. 



To Change a Quantity from One Weight to its 
Equivalent in Another. 

Rule. — Reduce the given quantity to grains, and then 
find their value in denominations of the weight required. 



TABLE OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 11 

Suppose we wish to convert 13 lbs. 6 oz. Avoirdupois to 
Troy weight, we proceed thus :

Explanation. — We multiply 13 lbs. by 7000 because there are 
7000 grains in a pound Avoirdupois ; this gives us 91000 grains. We 
multiply 6 oz. by 437^ because there are 437^ grains in an ounce 
Avoirdupois ; this gives us 2625 grains. We now add 91000 grains and 
the 2625 grains, making a total of 93625 grains. We now make our 
divisor 5760, because there are 5760 grains in a pound Troy weight. 
Our remainder, 1465, we multiply bj 12, because there are 12 ounces 
in a pound Troy. We multiply the remainder, 300, by 20, because 
there are 20 pwts. in an ounce, and remainder of 240 by 24 because 
there are 24 grains in a pwt.

CHAPTER II. 



METEIC SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 



To enter into an argument either for or against the 
metric system of weights and measures, is not the inten- 
tion of the author. 

It is eminently right and proper to know just what the 
system is, for to be able to dispense correct by and intelli- 
gently in both systems, is a duty we owe to the profes- 
sion, as we cannot be ignorant of the fact that many of 
the leading physicians of our country prescribe inva- 
riably in the metric system, hence the necessity of this 
chapter. 

Surgeon General Woodworth, of the U. S. Marine Hos- 
pital Service, has issued a circular, with the approval of 
Secretary Sherman, requiring medical officers of the Ma- 
rine Hospital Service to make use hereafter, for all offi- 
cial medical and pharmaceutical purposes, of the metric 
system of weights and measures, which has already, 
under the act of July 28, 1866, been adopted by this ser- 
vice for the purveying of medical supplies. 

Now, what is the Metric System ? 

The word "metric" is from the Greek word metron, a 
measure, and is pronounced met-ric. In this system, it 
is the gramme, written gram, and the centigram and the 
cubic centimeter, which concerns the physicians. 

To facilitate the ready conversion of the old into the 
new terms of weights and measures, the following simple 
rules are appended. 



THE METRIC SYSTEM. 15 

1. — To express quantities by weight of the apotheca- 
ries' system in metric terms, or to write medical prescrip- 
tions in metric weights. 

Kule A. — Eeduce each quantity to grains, then divide 
the number by 10 (or move the decimal point one place 
to the left), and from the quotient subtract one-third. 
The remainder is in each case the number of grammes 
representing nearly the same quantity. 

Eule B. — Keduce each quantity to drachms, and mul- 
tiply by 4. The product is in each case the number of 
grammes representing (nearly) the same quantity. 

Eule C, — Eeduce each quantity to ounces, and multiply 
the number by 32, the product is in each case the number 
of grammes representing (nearly) the same quantity. 

Eemark.— To insure greater accuracy, if in any case 
deemed necessary, three per cent, may be deducted from 
the answer arrived at by either of the rules A, B and C. 

2. — To express quantities by measure of the apothecaries' 
system in metric terms, or to write medical prescriptions 
in metric cubic measure. 

Eule D. — Eeduce each quantity to minims, then divide 
the number by 10, or move the decimal point one place 
to the left, and from the quotient subtract one-third. 
The remainder is in each case the number of cubic cen- 
timeters representing (nearly) the same quantity. 

Eule E. — Eeduce each quantity to fluid drachms, and 
multiply the number by 4. The product is in each case 
the number of cubic centimeters representing (nearly) the 
same quantity. 



16 THE METRIC SYSTEM. 

Kule F. — Reduce each quantity to fluid ounces, and 
multiply the number by 32. The product is in each case 
the number of cubic centimeters representing (nearly) the 
same quantity. 

Eemark. — To ensure greater accuracy, if in any case 
deemed necessary, eight percent, may be deducted from the 
answer arrived at by either of the rules D, E and F, 
reducing the error to less than 2£ minims for every fluid 
ounce. 

In applying the above rules for writing prescriptions, 
the metric quantities should be adjusted so as to be ex- 
pressed in as simple decimal terms as may be practicable, 
without materially changing the dose or the character of 
the formulae. 

The terms "gramme" and "cubic centimeter" are gen- 
erally abbreviated into Gm. and C. C. To preclude the 
possibility, in careless writing, however, of mistaking the 
sign "Gm." for the sign "Gr." (grain), the number should 
invariably precede the sign, using the common Arabic 
numerals, thus : 10 Gm. 

In writing, the abbreviated metric denominations should 
always be underscored, but the preceding number should 
not, as above. 

A few examples will suffice to illustrate the foregoing 
rules and suggestions :

ELIXIRS. 



How to Calculate Formulae for Elixirs. 

Suppose you desired to prepare an elixir that shall 
contain Sulphate of Quinine 2 grains, Sulphate of Mor- 
phia -^- grain, Arsenious Acid -~ grain, Strychnia ~~- 
grain, Ex. Aconite J- grain in each fluid drachm. Pro- 
ceed thus : Choose a convenient number of fluid 
drachms, divisible by all the fractionable denominators, 
and, calculating on that basis, the quantity of each pro- 
duct needed to bring the elixir to the proper strength. 
In the present case we take 60, — the lowest number 
divisible by the three denominators, 2, 20 and 30, — and 
the formula will read thus : 



Sulphate of Quinine, 
Sulphate of Morphia, 
Arsenious Acid,

substance will have to be dissolved separately in the 
menstruum, with the help of the appropriate solvents, 
and the whole mixed together and filtered. Instead of 
60, its multiples, 120, 180, etc., may be taken as a basis 
of calculation, and formulas will be obtained free from 
awkward fractions of a grain, that are represented by no 
weight procurable. 



General Rule in Making Elixirs Requiring Percolation. 

Take of the drug or drugs set down in the formula ; 
next take of the percolating menstruum (see below) 
sufficient to make 13 ounces, with five ounces of Sugar 
and one ounce of Prepared Flavoring, and proceed as 
directed in the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, which is as follows : 
The substance to be subjected to percolation, after hav- 
ing been reduced by sifting to a uniform powder of the 
fineness indicated in the formula, is to be put into a 
basin and rubbed with a portion of the menstruum until 
uniformly moistened. A portion of the powder is now 
to be carefully placed upon the diaphragm (a piece of 
cotton or cloth placed in the neck of the percolator), and 
pressed gently until the muslin resting against the sides 
of the percolator, just above the neck, is covered with a 
uniform layer. The remainder of the powder is then to 
be transferred to the percolator, and compressed evenly 
and firmly, and the leveled surface covered with a cir- 
cular piece of moistened muslin or paper, so that the 
liquid poured upon it may penetrate equally and not 
disarrange the powder. The percolator being now prop- 
erly supported, with its neck in a bottle previously 
marked for the quantity or quantities of liquid to be 
percolated, the menstruum is to be poured on until the 



24 ELIXIRS. 



space above is nearly filled ; and a layer of it must be 
constantly maintained above the powder, so as to prevent 
the access of air to its interstices, nntil it has been added, 
or until the requisite quantity of percolate has been 
obtained. 



NOTES. 

1st. We give a number of formulas for Simple Elixirs, 
but for cost, ease of manufacturing in small quantities 
and for general results, we prefer Formula No 8, which is 
the one adopted by the American Pharmaceutical Asso- 
ciation; the remarks there made are applicable to all 
elixirs. The paper pulp can be easily made and kept on 
hand by tearing up filtering paper, putting in wide mouth 
bottle and filling up with water, changing the water often, 

2d. Should any cloudiness still appear, a little pow- 
dered charcoal in the filter will usually remove it. 

3d. By filtering through animal charcoal the color 
can be removed from such wines as Sherry, etc., and 
many articles which are desired to be colorless. In many 
others, simply Carbonate Magnesia will answer. 

4th. Eemove Tannin from wines before making any 
preparations containing Iron, Pepsin, etc., by adding 3 
oz. milk (hot boiled) to every gallon, and shaking well; 
let stand twenty-four hours and test a portion with Tine. 
Iron ; if it should show any trace of Tannin repeat the 
process and, lastly, filter. 

5th. In using Strychnia, too much care cannot be used 
in seeing that it is thoroughly dissolved, and where not 
contra indicated, Hall's Solution is recommended, one 
ounce of the solution representing one grain of Strychnia. 



ELIXIRS. 25 






6th. Citrate of Bismuth and Ammonium can be dis- 
solved by the addition of two drachms of hot water to 
each drachm of the salt, and the careful addition of Aqua 
Ammonia till the solution is clear. 

7th. Pyrophosphate of Iron can be dissolved with two 
drachms of hot water to the drachm of Iron, continuing 
the heat till all dissolved. 

8th. Quinine and Cinchonidia may be dissolved by 
rubbing with separate portions of the Elixir and allowing 
to stand till solution is complete. In cold weather heat 
will be found to expedite matters, or Citric Acid can be 
used, rubbing the Salts with a portion of the Elixir, and 
dissolving the Acid in another portion ; add together, let 
stand a short time and neutralize with Aqua Ammonia, 
care being taken not to add an excess, or the Salts will 
be precipitated. 

9th. Soluble Citrate of Iron and Quinine, Iron and 
Strychnia, Iron and Ammonia; dissolve in hot water, 
two drachms to one drachm of the Salts. 

10th. For detannating, use Hydrated Peroxide of Iron, 
or milk. The former can be made by taking Solution 
Persulphate of Iron U. S. P. 16 ounces, mix with two 
gallons water in open crock that will hold four or five 
gallons; add Aqua Ammonia, stirring constantly until 
the Ammonia can be detected by the odor after standing. 
After a slight excess of Ammonia has been added, fill 
the jar with fresh water, stir and let stand till precipitate 
settles, pour off water, add fresh, and so continue for a 
number of waters. Collect precipitate upon a cloth 
strainer, drain and put into wide-mouth bottle, and add, 
if desired to keep any length of time, from two or four 



26 ELIXIRS. 



ounces of Glycerine. Of this preparation from one-half 
to three ounces may be added to the pint of Elixir, shak- 
ing well and let stand twenty-four hours, filter and test

CHAPTEE IV. 



TINCTUKES. 



Tinctures were formerly made by maceration for two 
weeks, but are now best prepared by percolation. The 
Paris Society of Pharmacy direct percolation with Alco- 
hol of 60 deg. for Belladonna, Conium, Hyoscyamus, 
Stramonium, Digitalis, Quassia, Pale Cinchona, Ehatany 
and Senna ; with Alcohol of 80 deg. for Valerian, Cin- 
namon, and red and yellow Cinchona. They advise 
maceration with Alcohol of 60 deg. for Aloes, Arnica, 
Catechu, Colchicum Bulbs, Gentian, Ipecacuanha, Musk, 
Khubarb and Squill ; with Alcohol of 80 deg. for Castor, 
Columbo, Colchicum Seeds, Cloves, Ginger, Jalap, Nux 
Vomica, Saffron and Vanilla ; with Alcohol of 90 deg. 
for Assafoetida, Balsam of Peru, Balsam of Tolu, Ben- 
zoin, Ammonia, Myrrh and Scammony. 

In preparing Tinctures, care should be taken that the 
substances treated should be exhausted of their soluble 
principles, in order to obtain a perfectly clear liquid; 
this, of course, is done during percolation; when pre- 
pared by maceration they require to be frequently shaken 
during the process, which should be conducted in glass 
bottles, well stopped. 

On the subject of Percolation, see U. S. Pharmacopoeia. 

Note. In the preparation of Tinctures (and all other medicines > 
the use of the Troy Weight is understood, unless otherwise specified.

SOLUTIONS, 



Solutions are generally placed under two heads — Sim- 
ple Solutions, and Complex or Chemical Solutions. 

A Simple Solution is where the dissolved body may be 
recovered without undergoing any Chemical change in 
the evaporation of the solvent, or by its removal in any 
way. 

A Complex Solution is where a body undergoes some 
Chemical alteration, either in composition or decomposi- 
tion. 

"Hot liquids dissolve substances," says Parrish, "with 
greater facility than cold, except Lime, its citrate and 
acetate: and Chloride of Sodium." The term saturated, 
when used in Pharmacy, signifies that an acid is neu- 
tralized by an alkali, or vice versa, or, in other words, 
that an equivalent proportion of one substance has com- 
bined with an equivalent portion of another, for which 
it has an affinity ; they are then said to have saturated 
each other. 

Solutions are not confined to solids, for one liquid may 
dissolve another, as, for instance, Ether in Water, and 
Essential Oils in Alcohol. When no chemical combina- 



SOLUTIONS. 163 



tion takes place, volume and temperature remain unal- 
tered, while in chemical combinations a rise in temper- 
ature and a condensation in volume is observed. Water 
with strong Alcohol or Concentrated Acids, furnishes an 
example.

Solution of Dialyzed Iron.— (H. Koch.) 

[From U. S. P.] 

In view of the wide-spread and rapidly increasing 
demand for this preparation the following working form- 
ula, which has been tried with excellent success, may 
prove of interest and benefit. 

Solution Chloride of Iron, 1 pint. 

Water of Ammonia q. s., or 2 pints. 

Distilled Water, 12 " 

Mix the Iron Solution with eight pints of the Water 
and precipitate the Oxide of Iron therefrom by means of 
the Water of Ammonia, previously diluted with the 
remaining four pints of Water, care being taken to have 
a slight excess of Ammonia. Collect the precipitate 
upon a close cotton (drilling) strainer of ample propor- 
tions, well secured around the ends. Wash the precipi- 
tate with plenty of Distilled Water of a temperature not 
exceeding 50° F., stirring the magma constantly, with a 
horn or wooden spatula while pouring the Water upon it. 
Set the magma aside to drain for several hours and then, 



SOLUTIONS. 173 



without expressing, or, if too moist after application of 
very slight and gradual pressure, transfer to a wide mouth 
bottle and add four fluid ounces of Solution of Chloride 
of Iron, shake briskly for a while and then set aside in a 
cool place for twenty-four hours, or until a complete 
solution has been effected, meanwhile stirring the mix- 
ture frequently. Finally transfer the solution to a dialy- 
ser, and proceed in the usual manner. The process 
requires from eight to twelve days for completion. The 
preparation may be considered finished when Tincture of 
Nutgalls produces no darkening color, and nitrate of sil- 
ver no precipitate in the diluted solution. 

When time is no object, successive portions of Oxide 
of Iron may be dissolved in the solution already obtained 
in the same manner as the first portion, thus shortening 
the process of dialysing, or, in fact, carrying the satura- 
tion when the latter becomes altogether unnecessary, 
since, according to Hager, the resulting preparation pos- 
sesses precisely the same physical and chemical proper- 
ties and peculiarities as the dialysed liquid.

two quarts of water together. If allowed to stand, a 
precipitate will fall, after which pour off the supernatant 
liquid. We again take two quarts of water and shake 
with the precipitate, after which allow to stand, and 
again pour off the liquid. We again take two quarts of 
hot water, shake with the precipitate, which must be 
allowed to stand, and again pour off the liquid. This 
must be repeated until the mixture is free from Chloride 
of Ammonia. This will require two or three gallons of 
hot water. The precipitate must be poured in a muslin 
strainer, and washed with a little hot water. Press the 
water out of the precipitate, and dissolve it in the solu- 
tion of Phosphoric Acid. Add the Sugar and enough

FLUID EXTEAOTS. 



General Formula. 

The quantity of powdered material directed to be used 
in each of the following formulas is sixteen Troy ounces. 
This powder is to be moistened with a specific quantity 
of menstruum, and properly packed in a suitable perco- 
lator. The surface of the powder is then to be covered 
with a disc of paper, and the remaining portion of six- 
teen fluid ounces of menstruum is to be poured upon it. 
"When the liquid begins to drop from the percolator, close 
the lower orifice with a cork, and having closely covered 
the percolator to prevent evaporation, set it aside in a 
moderately warm place for four days. The cork is then 
to be removed, more menstruum is to be gradually added, 
and the percolation continued until twenty-four fluid 
ounces have been obtained. Of these, the first fourteen 
fluid ounces are to be reserved, and the remainder, hav- 
ing been carefully evaporated, by means of a water-bath, 
to two fluid ounces, is to be mixed with the reserved por- 
tion, and filtered through paper if necessary. 

As this formula will be repeatedly referred to, it com- 
mands your special attention.

CHAPTEK VII. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 



Before the reader commences this chapter on Specific 
Medication, it would be advantageous to possess a clear 
understanding as to the meaning of the term "Specific," 
as applied in medicine, in order to thoroughly understand 
the teaching of Eclectic practitioners. I cannot, there- 
fore, do better than quote the words of the father of 
Eclecticism, Prof. John M. Scudder, professor of the 
principles and practice of medicine, in the Eclectic Med- 
ical Institute, Cincinnati. He says : " Many persons 
are in error in regard to our use of the term ' Specific.' 
They think of a specific medicine as one that will cure 
all cases of a certain disease according to our present 
nosology, as pneumonia, dysentery, diarrhea, albuminu- 
ria, phthisis, etc., and a person looking at the subject in 
this light, and guided by his experience in the use of 
remedies, would at once say there are no specifics." 

I use the term specific with relation to definite path- 
ological conditions, and propose to say that certain well- 
determined deviations from the healthy state will always 
be corrected by certain specific medicines. Prof. Scudder 
goes on to say : " We do not propose to reach all patho- 
logical changes by one remedy, except in those cases in 



198 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

which one lesion is primary, and the others result from 
it. We propose a remedy for each pathological feature, 
using the remedy for that which is first in the change of 
morbid action, and that second which stands second, and 
so on." 

This respectable class of practitioners, to whom hu- 
manity is indebted for many discoveries in the medical 
art, is constantly increasing in such numbers that the 
Eclectic physician can be found in every city and village 
throughout our country. It is, therefore, with this in view 
that a chapter on Eclectic Medicine has been written. 
His medicines have become a necessity. Their composi- 
tion and mode of administration must be known to you. 
The law demands that your duty of dispensing be done 
with judgment and discrimination. But how is it possi- 
ble to discriminate and exercise judgment with respect to 
Eclecticism except when one knows what it is ? — Hence 
this chapter. 



Arsenic. 

The friends of liberal medicine look upon this mineral 
as a depressant, and class it among the antiphlogistic s. 

It is well known that Arsenic exists in nature, in com- 
bination with nickel and cobalt, and is largely used by 
Homeopathic physicians. In small doses it lessens the 
frequency of the pulse, gives freedom to the circulation, 
and relieves irritation of the nervous system. It is use- 
ful in pustulsB and the tuberculae. It is a nerve stimu- 
lant, and often employed in phthisis. Prof. Howe, of 
Cincinnati, uses Arsenic in combination with veratrum. 
The cancer specialists use it largely. The writer has 
often seen it used in the intermittents of children, as it is 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 199 

a tasteless remedy, and works well, stopping the parox- 
isms of ague and periodic neuralgia. Arsenic will destroy 
malignant growths. 
For adults, the prescription would be : 
#.— Fowler's Solution, Z j. 
Aqua, E iv. 

Mix. 
Teaspoonful, every three hours. 

The dose for a child would be from gtt. ij. to gtt. rv, 
twice or three times a day. 



Aconite Napellus. 

[Monkshood.] tWolf's Bane.] 

The leaves and roots are the medicinal parts. To make 
the Tincture, take 3 viii. Eecent Eoot, Alcohol, Oj. 

Although Aconite, in the hands of an intelligent phy- 
sician, is of great service as a sedative and anodyne, yet 
we never would advise an unskilled person to use this 
drug. If it is used in the family, let it be under the 
guidance of your family physician. It is an excellent 
remedy in all febrile and inflammatory diseases, in rheu- 
matism, peretonites, gastritis, and many other acute dis- 
orders. It increases the power of the heart's action, 
lessens the frequency of the pulse, removes irritation of 
the cardiac nerves. It is an excellent remedy in dysentery 
from cold, and said to be good in croup. 

Formula : 

P. — Tinct. Aconite, gtt. v. to x. 
Aqua, § rv. 

Teaspoonful every hour, in acute disease. 

To a child 2 years old, give gtt. ii. to v. in Aqua 5 iv. 



200 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Atropa Belladonna. 

The best preparation is an alcoholic Tincture of the 
recent plant. The dose is one drop. For hypodermic 
use, they employ a solution of Atropa in proportion of 
one grain to the ounce of distilled water — the dose would 
then be five to ten drops. This is also the best propor- 
tion for use to dilate the pupil. As a collyrium, we 
would add 5 j of this solution to ^ j of distilled water. 
Atropa Belladonna is exhibited when the patient is dull 
and stupid, and the child drowsy and sleeps with its 
eyes partly open, pupils dilated, eyes dull. It is said to 
be a specific in incontinence of urine, owing to an imper- 
fect pelvic circulation. 

For an adult, in the proportion of gtt. v. to gtt. x. to 
water % iv. ; in the child, gtt. v. to § iv. ; in each a tea- 
spoonful every hour. We have given the maximum dose, 
as it must be used in small doses. We may also mention 
that an enfeebled circulation demands Atropa Bella- 
donna. 



Aloes. 

"The use of Aloes in medicine," says Prof. Scudder, 
"should be quite limited." He believes that, in small 
quantities and in combination with other agents that act 
upon the upper intestinal canal, it proves a good cath- 
artic, as in the following : 

^ .— Podophyllin, grs. x. 

Leptandrin, grs. xxx. 

Aloes, grs. xx. 

Extract of Hyoscyamus, grs. xxx. 
Make thirty pills. 
He also recommends Aloes in small doses in cases of 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 201 

feeble innervation, especially in persons of gross habits. 
He prescribes it in connection with nux vomica or w.th 
tincture of Belladonna. Dose of the strong tincture, from 
two to ten drops. 
The following is also recommended : 

^. —Extract Nux Vomica, grs. vj. 
Aloes, grs. xv. 

Hyclrastine, 3 ss. 

Make thirty pills. One may be given three or four 
times a day. 



Alstonia Constricta. 

[Fever Bark of Australia.] 

This is a recent addition to the Materia Medica. It is 
a native of Australia, taking the place of quinine in the 
cure of fever among the herdsmen and inhabitants of that 
country. It was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition 
in 1876. As an ague cure, it is said to produce more 
permanent results than Quinine. As an anti-periodic, 
the dose will be about five, to ten grains of the powder. 



Bryonia. 

The Eclectics employ the German Tincture in the pro- 
portion of gtt. v. to gtt. xxx. in aqua 5 iv. A teaspoon- 
ful every one, two or three hours. Its use is indicated 
where there is pain in right side of the face and head, 
burning in the eyes and nose, with acrid nasal discharge ; 
rheumatism, pneumonia and catarrhal effections. It is 
contra-indicated where disease of the air passages is pre- 
sent, but prescribed largely in rheumatism involving the 
synovial membranes. 



202 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Leptandra Virginica. 

The Tincture is prepared, ^ viii. to Alcohol Oj. Dose, 
gtt. x. to xx., in water. 

The root is the medicinal part, and often prepared as 
an infusion, but the tincture is preferable. The plant is 
indigenous to the United States, is found in woods and 
swamps and lime-stone regions. The leptandra exerts 
an influence upon the entire intestinal tract; and is 
very useful in chronic hepatic diseases, and peculiarly 
applicable in bilious and typhoid fevers. In diarrhea 
and dysentery, as a cathartic, it is recommended. 



Baptisia Tinctoria. 

The pocket case of the Eclectic physician is never com- 
plete without this remedy. 

The Baptisia grows in dry places in many parts of the 
United States, and bears bright yellow flowers in July 
and August. It is a small shrub, not exceeding two or 
three feet high. The medicinal part of the plant is the 
bark of the root. The leaves are also medicinal. The 
virtues of the root yield to Alcohol and water. It has, 
however, been employed in infusion. Dr. Scuddej rec- 
ommends a tincture by percolation, using 3 viii of the 
bark of the root to Oj, of 98° Alcohol. The infusion is 
made with g j of the bark to 3 iv boiling water. Dose, one 
teaspoonful. Of the tincture, gtt. x, to I iv of water, 
Dose, a teaspoonful. 

It is purgative, emetic, astringent and anti-septic. As 
a fomentation, it is good in ulcers, sore mouth or throat, 
stomatitis, cynanche maligna, and the sore throat of 
scarlet fever. In some cases of diphtheria it is useful, 
and in typhoid dysentery it is looked upon with great 
confidence. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 203 



Among the most valuable medicines in our Materia 
Medica will be found the Bromides, as every practitioner 
who has been any length of time in the profession will 
testify. 

Bromide of Ammonia. 

The physician is often surprised and delighted with 
the efficacy of this drug, when properly and promptly 
administered, in the convulsions of children. In epilepsy 
it has proved in many cases a specific. The Bromide of 
Ammonia is a strong stimulant to the nerve centers. 
The internal administration in small doses of this drug 
removes the predisposition to convulsions in children. 
Its action is also good in whooping-cough. It has been 
recommended in the following proportion : 

P. — Bromide of Ammonia, 3 iij. 
Aqua, § iv. 

Mix. 

Teaspoonful, four times a day. 



Iodide of Ammonia. 

There is not the risk attending this remedy that we 
have in the Iodide of Potassium, and for that reason it is 
preferable in secondary syphilis and enfeebled nutritive 
powers. The Iodide of Ammonia has been employed with 
great benefit in persistent headaches. 

$. — Iodide of Ammonia, oij. 
Water, =§ iv. 

Mix. 

Teaspoonful, every four hours. 



204 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Macrotys Racemosa. 
[Black Cohosh.] 

Macrotys Bacemosa and Ciruicifuga Kacemosa are the 
same. 

The medicinal part is the root. This plant is a native of 
the United States, inhabiting the woods and hillsides, and 
flowers from May to August. The Tincture is prepared 
from the fresh root, using 3 viii, to Alcohol 76°, Oj. Dose, 
from one to ten drops. 

It is said to be a specific in rheumatism, and exerting a 
marked influence over the nervous system. In rheuma- 
tic fever, Prof. Scudder says it is speedy and certain in 
action, where the disease has not localized itself as an in- 
flamation. There is no doubt of its being a valuable and 
useful medicine in cholera, periodical convulsions, fits, 
epilepsy, delerium tremens, and many spasmodic affec- 
tions, in cough, neuralgia and scrofula. Its influence is 
marked in functional diseases of the reproductive organs 
of women, in amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea and leucorrhea. 
It is a superior remedy in a variety of chronic diseases, 
and useful in palpitation of the heart and cardiac affect- 
ions generally. . 



Muriate of Ammonia. 

This drug is used as a stimulant to the capillary circu- 
lation ; shortness of breath, and in Splenitis. 

In eruptive fevers, when the eruption is tardy in appear- 
ing. Use it rubbed up in lard. 



Amyl Nitrate. 

An ethereal liquid, of a yellowish color, and a peculiar 
yet not an unpleasant odor, insoluble in water, but solu- 
ble in rectified spirits. The dose is from the fraction of 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 205 

a drop to two drops, or in homeopathic dilution ; in large 
doses, or inhaled, it is a powerful poison. It is employed 
in asthma, epilepsy, nervous headache, chorea, hiccough, 
gastralgia. 

Mix the Amyl Nitrate with an equal part of Oil of Cori- 
ander, to render it less volatile, and at the same time to 
cover its odor. It is the most powerful diaphoretic 
known, and used with great satisfaction in the cold stage 
of ague. Dr. Saunders, of Isidore, employs the Amyl 
Nitrate in this way: Four drops of the mixture are 
poured on a small piece of lint, which is given into the 
hands of the patient, and he is told to inhale it freely. 
He soon becomes flushed ; his pulse and respiration are 
accelerated ; when he feels warm all over, the inhalation 
is discontinued, as the symptoms continue to increase for 
some time after ; a profuse perspiration now sets in, which 
speedily ends the attack. In some cases, however, the 
cold stage passes off without any hot or sweating stage. 



Rhus Tocicoden&ron. 

[Poison Oak.] 

Prepare your Tincture from the recent leaves, 5 viii, to 
alcohol, 98°, Oj. 

Prescribe, Ehus gtt. x, to Aqua g iv. Dose, one tea- 
spoonful every two hours. 

The Rhus is prized as a valuable medicine in inflam- 
mation giving an ichorous discharge, in which the tissues 
seem melting away ; in erysipelas ; as antidote to zymotic 
poisoning, tympanitis, acrid discharges from the bowels 
or bladder. 

If sharp pain is felt in the frontal region, especially in 
left orbit ; or any local pain, when it is sharp and burn- 
ing, 'indicates the use of Rhus Toxicodendron. 



206 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Gelseminum. 

[Yellow Jessamine.] 

Gelsemirmm Sempervirens, or Yellow Jessamine, or as 
it is sometimes called, Woodbine, abounds throughout 
the Southern States. It has a twining, smooth stem, yel- 
low flowers, and agreeable odor. Its leaves are dark 
green above and pale beneath. 

Among Eclectic physicians it is highly valued and 
largely prescribed. It is said by them to influence the 
brain as well as the spinal center, and sympathetic nerves ; 
that it relieves irritation and determination of blood, recti- 
fies the various secretions without nausea,vomiting and 
purging. It is contra-indicated when the eyes are dull, 
pupils dilated, and the countenance expressionless. It 
is given in nervous and bilious headaches, colds, pneumo- 
nia, and many kinds of fever. Many physicians claim 
it as the specific in dysuria from stricture, enabling the 
patient to pass urine in from four to eight hours. . The 
root is the part used. It yields its virtues to water and 
alcohol. The Tincture is made in the usual manner — 
that is, Gelseminum Eoot, 3 viii, Alcohol, Oj. Dose, from 
the fraction of a drop to gtt. vj. 



Strychnos Nux Vomica. 

[Xux Vomica.] 

The medicinal part of this plant is the seed, from 
which the Tincture is made. Take : 3 viii of the freshly 
powdered seeds, Alcohol, 98° Oj. Dose, from one to five 
drops. 

The following formula is recommended by leading Ec- 
lectics : 

#. — Sulphate of Strychnia, grs. iv. 
Aqua, 1 iv. 

Solve. 
Dose, gtt. v to gtt. xx. 
Nux Vomica exerts a specific influence upon the intes 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 207 

tinal canal and associate vicera, that renders it a most 
valuable remedy, not alone to the Eclectic or Homeo- 
pathic physician, but to the Allopathic physician as well. 
Although an energetic poison, yet, in the hands of a skill- 
ful practitioner, it is very valuable in congestion of the 
liver, spleen and portal circle. It influences the cerebro- 
spinal centre, and is good in paralysis, general debility, 
pain in the stomach and bowels, sickness, pain in fore- 
head, in dysentery, and gives quick relief in gastric irri- 
tation; when we have enfeebled respiration in typhoid 
and asthenic diseases, it is highly recommended. In 
overdoses it will produce lock-jaw. 



Veratrum Viride. 

[American Hellebore.] 

Prepare a Tincture from the recent root, 1 viii, to Alco- 
hol 76° Oj. Dose, from one to three drops. 

The stem of this plant is from three to five feet high, 
with leaves from six inches to a foot long ; flowers green. 
It is a native of the United States, growing in swamps, 
low ground and moist meadows. It is a medicine con- 
taining many valuable properties. It is employed to 
lessen the frequency of the heart's action. It is hyp- 
notic, anodyne and anti-spasmodic ; better than Opium, 
in that it does not produce constipation. A full, bound- 
ing pulse calls for Veratrum. It is the remedy for sthe- 
nia, where there is a free circulation. 

Veratrum is used when Opium disagrees with the pa- 
tient, as in sleeplessness. Combined with other prepara- 
tions, it is good in gout, rheumatism, asthma, chronic 
cough, neuralgia, pneumonia, in connection with Gel- 
seminum. It is used as a local application in erysipelas, 
in felons, diseases of the bones, tonsillitis, etc. 



208 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 



Bromide of Potassium. 

The Bromide of Potassium is, without doubt, one of the 
most valuable medicines in the Materia Medica. Its uses 
are various. Thielman recommends this remedy as an 
excellent anaphrodisiac, in satyriasis, in the frequent and 
painful erections during gonorrhea, in spermatorrhea, and 
in nyphomania. He administered it in two to three grs. 
every two or three hours. It is useful in epilepsy, when 
associated with irritation of the reproductive organs, or 
especially in irritation of the cerebellum. 

The learned Dr. Alfred Meadows says : "Of all drugs in 
the Pharmacopoeia, I know of none which possesses such 
great power as the Bromide of Potassium, in menorrha- 
gia. Dr. Scudder uses the Bromide of Potassium in 
spermatorrhea. 

The writer can testify to its great service in nearly 
every form of headache, and insomnia. In combination 
with veratrum, it is often used successfully in billious 
fevers. 



Iodide of Ammonium. 

The Tincture may be made as follows : 

#.— Tincture of Iodine (strong), ) , , 

Aqua Ammonia (strong), \ equai parts * 

Put in a bottle, and allow it to become colorless. It is 
much more serviceable in this form, from the fact of its 
not staining the skin ; and is an excellent remedy in boils, 
inflammation, buboes, etc. 

The Iodide of Ammonia is recommended in secondary 
syphilis of an asthenic type, with nervous symptoms ; 
chronic headache, enfeebled circulation, often giving in- 
stant relief, and in many cases affecting a permanent 
cure. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 209 

Jaborandi. 

The Tincture may be made as follows : 

#. — Jaborandi Leaves, 1 viii. 
Alcohol 98° Oj. 
It is one of the most active diaphoretics known. A 
drachm and a half of the powdered leaves in infusion, or 
one drachm of the Tincture in six ounces of hot water, 
will produce profuse sweating. It is a remedy in convul- 
sions, puerperal fever, in bilous fevers, rheumatism and 
dropsy. 



Cinnamon. 

Cinnamon is a grateful aromatic, and useful to cover 
the taste of nauseous bodies, and if used with cathartics, 
it will prevent griping. Used as an infusion, it will pre- 
vent vomiting. It exerts an influence upon the uterus, 
and circulatory system, as well as checking hemorrhage. 
The Tincture is prepared from the oil, in the proportion, of 
3 j to Alcohol gviii. The powdered bark is administered 
in doses of gr. v, to Bj. 



Colocynth. 

The common name is Bitter Cucumber. The medicinal 
part is the fruit, divested of the rind. It is a powerful 
hydrogogue cathartic, producing copious watery stools. 
It is used in dysentery, dropsy and cerebral derangements. 
It should always be used in conjunction with hyoscyamus. 
The Tincture is administered in small doses. Dose, gtt. 
v to aqua 3 iv. A teaspoonf ul every hour will give good 
results.

210 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Chloroform. 

Chloroform, by inhalation, acts as an anaesthetic. 
From the accidents which have occurred from its use, 
pure Sulphuric Ether, or one part Chloroform and two 
parts Ether, is preferable for the purpose of procuring in- 
sensibility, thereby arresting the powers of the brain to 
receive impressions. By influencing the spinal cord, it 
arrests respiration. It has been used successfully, to stop 
convulsions. In biliary calculus, it is used as a prophy- 
lactic. For this purpose it is used in doses of gtt. xx, 
three times a day. In convulsions, the dose is from gtt. 
x,to f 3j. 



C aulophy Hum. 

[Blue Cohosh.] 

The Caulophyllum, or Blue Cohosh, is usually employ- 
ed in the form of a decoction. Dose, two to four ounces, 
three or four times a day, or a Tincture of the dry root 
may be made : 3 viii, to Alcohol 76°, Oj. 

It is principally used as an emmenagogue, parturient, 
and anti-spasmodic. It stimulates normal contraction, 
both before and after delivery. It also possesses diuretic, 
diaphoretic and anthelmintic properties. It is useful in 
hiccough, epilepsy, rheumatism, colic. It is usedby Eclec- 
tics in chronic uterine diseases. 



Colchicum. 

The common name for this Meadow Saffron. The bulbs 
and seeds are the parts used. 

It is a sedative, cathartic, diuretic and emetic. It is 
largely used in palpitation of the heart. 

The Tincture is administered in cases of colic, gtt, xx, to 
aqua 3iv. A teaspoonful every two hours. Many physi- 
cians administer it in larger doses, from gtt. xx, to 3j. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 211 

Digitalis. 

[Fox Glove.] 

The Tincture is prepared from the recent dried leaves, 
in the proportion of §viii, to Alcohol 76°, Oj. 

Digitalis, in over-doses, occasions vomiting, purging, 
vertigo, convulsions, and death. It is often employed as a 
sedative. It is a powerful cardiac tonic, and therefore 
used as a heart corrective, as in palpitations, etc. It 
sometimes acts well as a cure in convulsions, in pertus- 
sis and spasmodic asthma. Care must be taken of its 
cumulative effects. 



Carbolic Acid. 

This is a hydrated oxide of Phenyl, produced in the 
manufacture of coal gas. It has the taste and smell of 
Creosote. 

It is used in surgery to arrest the formation of pus. It 
is prepared for dispensing, thus : 

fy. — Glycerine, g xvi. 

Carbolic Acid Crystals, g iv. 
Mix. 

It is a valuable medicine where the tongue is broad 
and moist, and breath fetid. Administered in small 
doses, it will be found useful in bilious and typhoid fever, 
cynanche, pneumonia, diarrhea, dysentery, and disease 
of the urinary organs, whether the disease is acute or 
chronic. The following is a reliable formula : 

#. — Solution of Carbolic Acid in Glycerine, gtt. x to 
gtt. xxx. 

In putrid sore throat, in gr. ij. to gr. x, in aqua 3 j. 



212 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Chloral Hydrate. 

This drug is prepared from the action of Chlorine on 
Alcohol. 

It relieves pain, and is useful in nervous disorders, and 
in delerium tremens. It is a hypnotic, and may be em- 
ployed where there is an enfeebled condition of the brain. 
It is very greatly superior to opium and almost every 
other drug, in the character of its sleep-producing action. 
It is dangerous to give large doses, that is to say, more 
than about thirty grains, but repeat if necessary. 

Dr. Eeynolds says: "As a remedy for pain, Chloral 
holds a very varying place in the estimation of medical 
men, some rating it highly, and others thinking it almost 
worthless. In melancholia, its action . as a hypnotic ap- 
pears to be powerfully and remarkably sure. We may 
also state that in aged persons, who find it difficult to 
sleep for any length of time continuously, the use of Chloral 
appears to answer excellently well. Dose, gr. x to 5 j, in 
syrup. 



Borax. 

This is used as an anti-septic dressing in wounds, the 
strength being from 3 j to 3 iv, in one pint of wetter. 
Given internally, in apthous exudations, it is administered 
in small quantities, from grs. j to v, in water. In neph- 
ritic and calculous complaints, depending on an excess 
of uric acid, it is sometimes combined with Cream of 
Tartar. Dose for an adult, grs. xx, to grs. xl. A 
good formula for application to diseased mucous mem- 
branes, especially the nose, may be written thus : 
P. — Saturated Solution of Borax, 3 ij. 
Oil Sweet Almonds, 3 ij. 

Mix ; apply several times a day. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 213 

Bismuth. 

The Eclectic physician prescribes Sub-nitrate of Bis- 
muth in two forms : First, the Liquor of Bismuth (see 
Solution of Citrate of Bismuth), and in form of powder. 
Of the powder, give two or four grains, of the solution gtt. 
x, to 3 j. It is used as an anti-spasmodic, absorbent, and 
sedative. The Citrate of Bismuth is especially useful in 
chronic gastro-intestinal irritation, or dyspepsia with 
diarrhea. The dose is a teaspoonful four times a day. 



Ergot. 

[Spurred Rye.] 

The Tincture of Ergot is the form of which it is gener- 
ally used, and may be prepared in the usual way, with 
Alcohol of 76 per cent. Ergot is stimulant, acting on the 
muscular system of the uterus. 

In tedious labors, where the os is dilated, and the soft 
parts dilatable, and the pains grow weaker, the patient 
exhausted, give Ergot. It is useless in very small doses, 
as some recommend. Many physicians administer it in 
3 ss doses, as the case may require. It is often used in 
decoction, 3 j of it, bruised, to j§ iv boiling water ; boil ten 
minutes, strain and sweeten. It is bad practice to use 
Ergot during parturition before the membranes are rup- 
tured. In uterine hemorrhage, administer freely. 



Potassa. 

[Potash.] 

The officinal Liquor Potassa is prescribed in doses of 
from one to ten drops, in a glass of water. One of the 
strongest indications for its use is in difficult urination. 
Deposits of uric acid are sometimes removed by the 
administration of small quantities of this remedy, and 



214 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

the irritative dyspepsia so frequently associated with it 
is also relieved. It may also be used in some cases of 
acne of the face, and in some cases of scrofula, the 
patient being well nourished. 



Acetate of Potassa. 

The Acetate of Potassa is mildly cathartic and diuretic. 
It has been found useful in febrile diseases, dropsies, 
icterus and viceral obstructions. Dr. Golding Bird says 
that, ten days' or two weeks' use of Acetate of Potassa 
will cure ague, when anti-periodic s have wholly failed. 
Dose, Bj, as diuretic ; o ij, to Z iij, as cathartic. It should 
be used largely diluted. 



Nitric Acid. 

The strong Acid is seldom used for any other than 
pharmaceutical purposes; in the form of vapor it is 
extracted from Nitre, 3 iv, and Sulphuric Acid, 3 iv, in a 
saucer placed in a pipkin of hot sand for the purpose of 
fumigation. It is incompatible with the Spirits of Lav- 
ender and strong tinctures, essential oils and metallic 
oxides. It is useful in irritable or enfeebled condition of 
the stomach, in impaired nutrition, etc. Eclectics say 
they do not use Nitric Acid for its acid properties, but for 
its nitrogen. It is given in chronic ague, malarial head- 
ache, etc. This Acid, used in its diluted form, is found 
beneficial in fevers of a typhoid form, in chronic affections 
of the liver, in dyspepsia, and externally, in the cure of 
old, ulcerated sores. For internal use : 

P.— Acid Nit. dil., gtt. xxx. 

Aqua and Syrup, aa ad, E iv. 
Mix. 

Teaspoonful, every three hours* 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 215 

Nitrate of Soda. 

Pure Nitrate of Soda is a white salt, and from the cubic 
form of its crystals, is often called nitre. It is soluble 
in three times its weight of cold water, giving a clear 
solution. When the pulse is full, the surface flushed, 
slightly dusky or purplish; eyes injected, though dry; 
an increased perspiration, though the skin remain hot, 
Nitrate of Soda is indicated. The dose of Nitrate of 
Soda will range from Z] to 3 j, in the twenty-four hours. 
It must be largely diluted with water. 



Hypophosphite Soda. 

Hypophosphite of Soda is looked upon as destructive 
to microscopic fungi, and as a useful agent in preventing 
fermentation. The writer has found it very useful in 
diphtheria. The Soda may be combined with Chlorate of 
Potash and Iron. 

#. — Hypophosphite Soda, Z j. 

Chlorate Potass, Z jj. 

Mur. Tinct. Iron, Z iij. 

Syrup and Aqua, ad. § iv. 

Mix. 
Teaspoonful, three times a day. 



Oxide Zinc. 

This is an excellent remedy in Chorea and other spas- 
modic affections. Eclectics generally prescribe this drug- 
in very small quantities, in doses ranging from one-eighth 
of a grain to one grain. It may be used in chronic gas- 
tritis, nervous dyspepsia ; externally, in sore nipples, exco- 
riation, etc. In infantile chafing, apply dry and freely. 



216 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Viburnum Prunifolium. 

[Black Haw.] 

Prepare a Tincture from the recent bark of the root 
I viii to Alcohol 50° Oj. It is claimed in the Southern 
States that the Viburnum is a specific against abortion. 
In this particular it is, no doubt, a valuable drug. The 
infusion is often used. The dose would be from g j to § ij. 
Dose of Tinct. gtt. v to gtt. xx. 



Stillingia Sylvatica. 

[Queen's Root.] 

Prepare a Tincture from the recent dried root 3 viii to 
Alcohol 98° Oj. Dose, from gtt. j to gtt. x. 

Stillingia is emetic, cathartic, alterative. It is useful 
in secondary syphilis, scrofula, etc. 

Stillingia exerts a specific influence upon the mucous 
membrane of the throat, larynx and bronchi, relieving 
irritation and favoring nutrition. Its use is very benefi- 
cial in chronic laryngitis, speedily relieving the irritation 
and cough. 



Stramonium. 

[Jamestown Weed.] 

Prepare the Tincture from the fresh leaves and flower- 
ing tops, when the odor of the plant is strongest, gtt. v to 
gtt. x, in Aqua 3 iv. Dose, teaspoonful as necessary. 

It is useful in delirum tremens, violent mania, epilepsy 
and asthma, as in inhalation. It is an excellent remedy 
in chronic diseases of the skin. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 217 

Salicylic Acid. 

This drug has become widely known as a specific in 
certain forms of rheumatism. Physicians frequently 
combine the Acid with Soda, forming a Salicylate of Soda. 
The prescription may be written : 

#.— Salicylic Acid, Zj. 

Bi- Carbonate of Soda, 3ij. 

Aqua, E iv. 

Mix. 
Dose, a teaspoonful every two hours. 



Iodine. 

Iodine, in all its forms, stimulates excretion. We have 
no reason to believe that it stimulates blood-making or 
nutrition, other than as it facilitates the removal of worn- 
out tissues. 

Iodide of Potassium is its most active form as a resol- 
vent. There is a difference of opinion with regard to the 
proper dose. Some think it gives the best results in doses 
of one to five grains — (others give it in doses of twenty 
to forty grains) — three or four times a day. 

The indication for this salt is, a broad, pallid, leaden- 
colored tongue, rather full ; whilst a red and contracted 
tongue contra-indicates its use. 

In quite small doses, Iodine stimulates the sexual 
organs, and increases their power. For this purpose, it 
may be used in the proportion of : 

#. — Tinct. Iodine, gtt. xx. 

Simple Syrup, § iv. 

Mix. 

Dose, a teaspoonful four times a day. 



218 SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 

Sanguinaria Canadensis* 

LBlood Boot] 

This is an acrid emetic, stimulant, narcotic, diaphoretic 
and alterative. It is principally used in chronic catarrh, 
bronchial affections and pertussis, combined with Anti- 
mony or Ipecac, it is a useful expectorant. 

Dose, as emetic, from grs. x to grs. xx. The Tincture 
is prepared from the recent dried root E yiii to Alcohol 
76° Oj. Dose, from one to five drops. 



Ipecacuanha. 

[Ipecac] 
Prepare a Tincture from the recent root, Iviij. to Alco- 
hol, 98°, Oj. Dose, from the fraction of a drop, to five 
drops. 

Ipecac exerts a specific influence upon the mucous mem- 
branes, relieving irritation, and arresting the inflammatory 
process. It is employed as a specific in most cases of 
cholera infantum. It allays irritation of the stomach, 
gradually checks the frequency of discharges from the bow- 
els, and restores tone and functional activity. 

It is employed , with marked advantage, in the treat- 
ment of infantile pneumonia, associated with aconite and 
veratrum. 

It is usually prescribed in the following proportions : 

#. — Tincture Ipecac, gtt. x. 

Aqua, § iv. 

Mix. 

Sig. A teasponful every hour. 



SPECIFIC MEDICATION. 219 

Juglans Cinerea. 

[Butternut.] 

In small closes, the Juglans exerts a marked influence 
upon the skin, and may be used in both acute and chronic 
skin diseases. It also allays irritation of the mucous 
membranes, is useful in some cases of dyspepsia, and is a 
valuable laxative and cathartic, being one of the few 
cathartics that may be employed to overcome obstinate 
constipation. 

Prepare a Tincture, as follows. Fresh inner bark of the 
Juglans gviii. to Alcohol, 76° Oj. Dose, from one to five 
drops. 

Where its decided effects as a cathartic are required, 
the solid extract may be employed. 



Jimiperizs Sabina. 

[Savin.] 

Savin is a stimulant. It may be employed in menor- 
rhagia, and in atonic leucorrhcea, with advantage. It is 
also used as a stimulant in vesical catarrh, and in dis- 
eases of the urethra. It is useful in some cases of amen- 
orrhcea, as a stimulant, but never in those cases present- 
ing excitement of the circulation. 

Prepare a Tincture, from the herb, in the proportion of 
iviij. to Alcohol, 76 Oj. Dose, from one to five drops. 



Ijactuca Virosa. 

[Lettuce.] 

Lettuce is a valuable sedative, giving rest to the nerve 
centers. It will sometimes produce sleep, in small doses, 
when the large will do no good. It is recommended in 
sleeplessness of children, and hysteria of women. 

Prepare a Tincture from Lactucarium, 5 iv. to Alcohol, 
90° Oj. Dose, from a drop, to ten drops, given in water, 
every hour, while needed.

INFUSIONS. 

[U. S. P.] 

This class of medicinal preparations is one of the least 
elegant in use, and is mainly confined, in the United 
States, to domestic practice. Even when prescribed by 
physicians, the Infusions are generally made by the 
nurse or attendant upon the sick, rather than by the 
pharmaceutist. The infusions of Cinchona Bark, Infu- 
sion of Digitalis, Compound Infusion of Gentian, and 
Compound Infusion of Roses, form the chief exceptions 
to this. 

The process of percolation is applied with great advan- 
tage to some of these preparations, and in a majority of 
cases, the substitution of cold water for hot, and of per- 
colation for maceration or digestion, is found to produce 
a more elegant and equally efficient Infusion, and one 
which, from containing less coloring matter, fecula, res- 
inous and other inert principles, keeps better, and is more 
acceptable to the stomach. 

When an Infusion is intended as an emetic draught, 
or to promote the operation of emetics, or as a diapho- 
retic, it is usually given while hot, and, of course, to all 
such cases the above remark does not apply. Nor is it 
equally applicable to the demulcent Infusions of Flax- 
seed and Buchu, although the former may be made very 
well with cold water, and is then less demulcent only in 
its character. 

The general dose of Infusion is f § ij, or a wine-glass 
full, frequently repeated. This is to be varied in the case 
of Infusion of Senna, Compound Infusion of Flaxseed, 
and others, in which a much larger quantity may be 
taken at a draught. 

There are two of the officinal Infusions which it would 
be improper to give in the above general dose ; these are 
Infusion of Digitalis and Infusion of Capsicum, the doses 
of which are specially stated in the Syllabus.

CHAPTER IX. 



EMULSIONS. 



There is, perhaps, no duty required of a druggist that 
is more troublesome and vexatious than operations under 
this head. The pharmaceutists of every nation have con- 
sidered the management or skillful operation required to 
produce a perfect emulsion, as denoting a high standard of 
intellectual endowment, and, simple as this branch of 
the practical druggist's work may at first sight appear to 
the uninitiated, yet it embraces considerable trouble to the 
best manipulator. The trouble, however, "is principally 
caused by the way physicians prescribe an emulsion — a 
composition of oil, gum and syrup, with so small a quan- 
tity of water that no emulsion can be made. It is true, 
the ingredients can be mixed, but cannot be combined. 
In writing a formula for an oil emulsion, care should be 
used to prescribe ingredients in such proportions that a 
skillful pharmacist can put up a decent preparation. On 
the other hand, it is the duty of the druggist to study this 
branch of the business in order to know the conditions 
under which to make a good emulsion of oil or balsam. 



EMULSIONS. 227 



HOW TO MAKE AN EMULSION. 



General Rule. 

Two modes of making emulsions are in use. One 
method consists in making a thick mucilage, to which is 
added, in small portions, oil and water, until all is formed 
into a perfect emulsion, which then can be diluted with 
water without the oil being separated. 

The other method consists in mixing the oil with the 
powdered gum, in certain fixed proportions, and then add- 
ing a certain quantity of water, in proportion to the oil 
and gum used. 

The following, by A. F. W. Neynaber, in the Druggists' 
Circular, may be found useful : 

Parts by Weight. 

Oil. Powdered Gum Arabic. Water. 

1 1 li 

2 12 

3 1 2J 

If the oil is mixed with the gum, in a shallow porcelain 
mortar, and then the water be added in any of the above 
mentioned proportions, the emulsion will be formed. 
The ingredients should be weighed very accurately. 
When the emulsion is formed, the stirring should be con- 
tinued for a few minutes, and water be added gradually. 
The first method requires more skill and proper judgment 
of the Pharmaceutist ; while the operation, by the second, 
can be performed by almost anyone, if he only weighs out 
the ingredients in the proper way.

is all dissolved, add this mixture to the emulsion of 
Copaiba in the other mortar, and mix the two well before 
any water is added. Then use 2 J ounces of Water to dilute 
the emulsion afterwards, and wash out the mortars, so as 
to brirg all their contents into the prescription vial.

MEDICATED WINES, 



In making these, the best quality of Sherry or White 
Wine should be used, and where it is deficient in body, 
from one half to one ounce of Alcohol should be added to 
each pint of the Wine used. 

Where a medicated wine is to contain Iron, the wine 
used should first be detannated by mixing with it one or 
two ounces of warm boiled milk, to each gallon of wine ; 
shake well, let stand several hours, then filter. This will 
prevent the Medicated Wine from becoming dark or 
inky, when the Iron is added.

CHAPTER XI. 



PILLS. 



Pill making forms an important branch of Pharmacy, 
and there is, perhaps, nothing (except it be emulsions), 
which gives the young druggist so much trouble, or which 
is as poorly performed. The medicines adapted to 
pilular form are, most of the powders, gum-reisns, oleo- 
resins, solid extracts, oils, in small proportions, etc. 

It is of prime importance, that the ingredients entering 
into a pill mass be evenly and thoroughly mixed, this is 
best performed by means of trituration in a shallow 
mortar. All crystalized salts and drugs that can be 
powdered, should first be rubbed fine, before anything 
else is added. Solid extracts, (if not in powder), should 
be softened with the least possible quantity of water or 
Alcohol, before entering into the mass. 

Powerful drugs, such as Arsenic, Morphia, Strychnia, 
etc., should be mixed with a portion of the other powders 
first, if any are used, if not, then with a very little Sugar, 
or, Sulph. Morphia and Sulph. JStrychnia can first be 
dissolved with a drop or two of Arom. Sulph. Acid, in the 
mortar. 

After the prescribed drags are thoroughly mixed, they 
will need an Excipicnt to form the mass. Simple Syrup 
made heavy answers the purpose very well. Mucilage of 



PILLS. 241 



Acacia, Glycerine, Glucose and Honey are also used. 
There is an objection to the mucilage, in that, by harden- 
ing, it renders the pills less soluble. 

A good Excipient can be made by taking Powd. Starch, 
4 drachms, Glycerine, 3 ounces, and heating together, by 
means of a water bath, until a gelatinous mass if formed. 

Excipients should be added to the pill-mass cautiously, 
or it will become too soft. If this occurs, a Dryer will be 
needed. Powd. Acacia, Powd. Starch, Powd. Liquorice, 
etc., all answer this purpose. 

The mass, being of a proper consistency, is next rolled 
out on the pill machine or a graduated tile, to the proper 
length, and divided, equally, into the number of pills re- 
quired, care being taken that they are smoothly finished 
when cut and rolled, and, afterwards, carefully handled 
until hard enough to retain their shape. 

For dusting pills, to prevent their sticking during the 
process of rolling, and afterwards, use any of the Dryers 
previously mentioned. 

For Quinine, Morphine, and other white substances, 
always use Acacia, Arrowroot, or Starch, for dusting, 
leaving a white coating. 

In the process of pill making there are many minor 
points to be taken advantage of, which can only be learned 
by actual experience : such as the soluble, cohesive, and 
drying properties of different substances, the proper 
amount of excipient to be used for each, etc. 

The young druggist will do well to note these points in 
every day experience, as it is by observation and prac- 
tice alone that he will become proficient in the art. It 
has become a custom, with many physicians, to direct 
pills to be inserted in capsules, thereby preventing the 
patient from tasting bitter and nauseous substances.

242 pills. 



The druggist should always be supplied with empty 
capsules of different sizes, and after the pill mass is 
properly divided, instead of making the pills spherical, 
roll them a little oblong ; they are then easily and quickly 
inserted in capsules. The process of coating pills with 
gelatine or sugar, might be fully explained here, but it 
has been found that while it can be successfully done 
on a small scale, still, it rarely pays in the prescription 
department, for the reason that it takes considerable 
time ; the patient is frequently impatient, and no part of the 
work, in this department, should be performed in a hurry. 
Where there is considerable demand for any particular 
pill, it is better for the druggist to procure a good pill- 
coating apparatus, or else have his formulas made up, to 
order, by some reliable manufacturer. 

Without further discussion of the subject, we proceed to 
furnish a number of the most important formulas for 
pills.

MEDICATED SYKUPS. 



A few practical hints in regard to making Medicated 
Syrups, may prove acceptable. Many of them are now 
made with Fluid Extracts. When such is the case, add 
the Fluid Extract to the Water, or whatever menstruum 
may be used, then filter clear ; in the filtrate dissolve the 
Sugar, either by agitation or by means of a water bath, 
and strain. A nice clear Syrup is the result. 

In making Syrup of Ipecac or Syrup of Senega, it is a 
good plan to heat the Simple Syrup, before adding the 
Fluid Extract, and to clarify with a little Isinglass before 
the Medicated Syrup is strained. 

The tendency of Syrups to fermentation is a source of 
great annoyance. They should be properly made, with 
sufficient Sugar to form a good body, and then kept in as 
cool a place as possible. 

The process of fermentation can be prevented, or 
greatly retarded, by the addition of from one to two 
drachms of Sulphite of Lime to each gallon of Syrup. 

Fermented, or "changed," Syrups should never be dis- 
pensed.

water-bath, to 212°, and through a small funnel inserted 
in the mouth of the bottle, filter into it the solution 
already prepared. When this has passed, close the bot- 
tle, shake thoroughly, and when the liquid has cooled, 
add sufficient syrup to make the whole measure twenty 
fluid ounces. Lastly, again shake the bottle and transfer

MALT PEEPAEATIONS. 



We give below a condensed manner of making Extract 
of Malt ; but for the use of those who use it in small 
quantities, will say, it can be bought of large manu- 
facturers at about $3.00 a gallon. 

The Barley or other grain is first put into a vat, with 
just enough water to cover it, added ; and left in this con- 
dition for from twenty-four to forty hours ; it will nearly 
absorb the water in this time. The second step is to 
drain off the superfluous water, and the grain is thrown 
in a heap upon the floor ; it is allowed to so remain for 
a number of hours, generally twenty-four, or until partial 
germination takes place, and is then spread thickly upon 
the floor and turned often, when the germination has 
proceeded as far as required, it is then dried in a kiln, 
being slowly heated to 150° F. The above is the ordinary 
manner of making malt. To make the Extract, take any 
amount of the malt ground ; dampen with water and pack 
in Water Bath Percolator, which maintain at about 170° 
F. Pass water through till it shows no strength or 
sweetness. Take the percolate and evaporate in water 
bath till it is as thick as needed. If the Extract is wanted 
with Hops, proceed as before, with the addition of one

the proportions may be varied. Maltine is made of 
Malted Barley, "Wheat and Oats in the same manner ; is 
nearly identical with Malt and can be used wherever the 
latter is mentioned, if so desired.

CHAPTEE XVIII. 



ESSENCES. 



It is needless to say anything in the way of apology for 
this chapter, as essences enter so largely into the soda 
fountain and confectionary business, that the absolute 
need of our knowing how to manufacture our own essen- 
ces becomes a necessity. 

In making all Essences, where an Essential Oil is used, 
the following method will produce the best results. 

First the Oils must be thoroughly dissolved in the 
Cologne Spirit, or Alcohol ; (the former to be much pre- 
ferd), then the mixture is to be rubbed in a mortar, with 
Carbonate of Magnesia, — some prefer to add a small quanti- 
ty of Sugar — then add the Water, if any is used, and tri- 
turate well together. Next, fiber through paper, until 
clear. In other words, finish just as you would in mak- 
ing Medicated Waters. 

Color carefully, until the desired shade is reached. 

The quantity of Oils used, can be increased, or dimin- 
ished, to produce essences of any desired grade.

There are many ways of making a simple syrup, and

instead of being simple, they are oftener compound and 
complex, too. Here is something really good, and may 
be denominated an "Easy Method" :

Strawberry Syrup. 

[From Fruit.] 

Use Strawberries of a good flavor. Do not forget that 
if the berries possess no ■ flavor, you can not expect to 
obtain a Syrup of good flavor. Avoid, also, rotten ber- 
ries, because unless you do, you may be sure to find as 
flavor the smell of the rotten berries in your Syrup. 
Mash the fruit in a barrel, or other suitable vessel, by 
means of a pounder, and leave the pulp from 12 to 24 
hours, at a temperature between 70° and 80° ; stir occa- 
sionally ; press ; set the juice aside for one night ; add, for 
every pound avoirdupois of juice, one ounce avoirdupois 
of Cologne Spirits or Deodorized Alcohol ; mix, and set 
aside for another night, and filter through paper. 

For one pound of the flavored juice take one pound of 
'A' Sugar and heat to the boiling point, taking care to 
remove from the fire or turn off the steam as soon as the

PERFUMERY. 



Before entering upon our work of formulae for the 
manufacture of Perfumery, it will be well to bear in 
mind the following directions as to the best methods of 
making extracts from Flower Pomades : 

First — Pure Cologne Spirits, J gallon. 

Flower Pomade, No. 24, 4 pounds. 

(Flower Pomade is known to the trade as Triple 
Pomade.) 

Second — Place the Spirits in a well stopped bottle, 
together with the Pomade cut in small pieces, and place 
the bottle in a water-bath, and apply gentle heat, just 
sufficient to melt the Pomade, and stir with a wooden 
spatula, or shake well together. By this method the 
fatty matter will solidify and exhibit a granulated appear- 
ance, having been thoroughly permeated by the spirits. 

Third — Let the mass stand for five days, but shake 
occasionally. 

Fourth — Now drain or filter off the liquid extract into 
another bottle, but if it fall short of one -half gaUon, pour 
on a sufficiency of Alcohol to make up the measure. This 
is called the First Wash, or Virgin. 

Fifth — By subsequent and similar treatment a second 
and even a third quantity of extract may be made, which, 



PEBFUMERY. 365 



although much weaker, will be found suitable for cheap 
perfumes. The Pomade left will then make an excellent 
Hair Pomade when bottled. 

Herewith I append several formulae for Extracts, which 
will be required in our formulae Avhich follow. Others 
can be made in a similar manner, by using Gums and 
Essential Oils.

The recipes of these perfumes are the most noted that, 
at present, are being manufactured. The directions for 
making the Colognes are, to cut the Oils in about nine- 
tenths of Spirits, and after standing twenty-four hours 
add the Water, and immediately add the remainder of 
the Spirits. The Water should always be lukewarm 
when put in. Always filter through filter paper.

CHAPTEK XXIII. 



HAIR DYES AND TONICS. 



It could be easily shown that the practice of dyeing the 
hair, by way of personal adornment, is very ancient. It 
is universally followed among the upper, as well as the 
lower, classes in every country in Asia, and the practice 
is equally prevalent among the barbarous and civilized 
communities. In Egypt the practice is to blacken the 
edge of the eye-lids, both above and below, and for this 
purpose they use a powder called Kohol. 

The practice of dyeing the hair, painting the face, etc., 
by way of personal adornment, is often alluded to in the 
Bible, and materials for that purpose constitute, at the 
present time, the leading source of profit among the 
Armenians. 

It becomes our duty, while writing a book of this kind. 

to devote a chapter to Hair Dyes and Tonics ; still, at 

the same time, it is our duty to say that, as a rule, all 

hair dyQs ought to be avoided ; as personal beauty is often 

spoiled by the inharmonious application of colors.

must be taken that the Sulphuret is fresh-made, or at 
least well preserved in closed bottles ; otherwise, instead

of the Mordant making the hair black, it will impart a 
yellow hue. When the Mordant is good, it has a very 
disagreeable odor ; and although this is the quickest and 
best dye, its unpleasant smell has given rise to the "In 
odorous Dye." Here it is :

Dissolve the Nitrate of Silver, in the above formula ; 
then add Liquid Ammonia by degrees until the mixture 
becomes cloudy from the precipitate of the Oxide of 
Silver, continuing to add Ammonia in small proportions 
until the fluid again becomes clear from the Oxide of 
Silver being re-dissolved. 

Pour half a pint of boiling Kose Water upon three 
ounces of powdered Nutgalls ; when cold, strain and bot- 
tle. This forms the Mordant, and is used in the same 
way as the first-named dye, like the Sulphuret Mordant.

CHAPTEK XXIV. 



POMADES, 



The use of Ointments, as helps to the adornment of 
the person, is often alluded to in the Sacred Scriptures. 
Thus we have mention made of them in Proverbs 27: 9, 
and again, in Ecclesiastes 9: 8, and I. Chronicles 9: 30. 

A casual observer would say that it is a barbarous cus- 
tom to oil the hair ; but if he will only reflect a moment, 
he will find that the oil glands on the scalps of many 
persons possess the power of secretion in so slight a 
degree that it becomes necessary to aid Nature in her 
work by means of Art — by means of Ointments and Oils. 

You may see many persons whose hair has a peculiar 
dryness, actually demanding an application of artificial 
oil ; and to neglect this would entail annoyance and an 
unsightly appearance. When the oil glands supply a 
sufficiency of fluid, the hair is said to be moist and soft — 
a consummation devoutly to be wished by men and 
women of every rank and condition in life, who make any 
show towards personal adornment. 

The name of "Pomade" and "Pomatum" is derived 
from "Pomum" — an apple — because it was formerly 
made by immersing over-ripe apples in grease. If an 
apple be stuck all over with spice, such as cloves, then 
exposed to the air for a few days, and afterwards macer- 



416 POMADES. 



ated in purified melted lard, or any other fatty matter, 
the grease will become perfumed. Eepeating the oper a 
tion with the same grease several times produces real 
Pomatum. 

In making Pomades, the following directions ought to 
be strictly followed if you wish to make a really nice 
article. You need not follow the following remarks if 
you simply want a common article of Pomatum. 

Pomades ought to be made from inodorous lard. 

Melt your lard in a hot water bath (boiling) ; take off 
the scum, after previously adding two ounces of pow- 
dered alum and two ounces of table salt. When the 
grease appears clear, let it grow cool. 

The lard is now to be washed. This is done a small 
quantity at a time. Take about a pound on a slate slab, 
and let the slab slope sufficiently, so that a good supply 
of water may trickle over it and run off at the same time. 
Keep the grease well stirred. In this way the water will 
remove any trace of the alum and salt. 

Finally, the grease, when the whole is washed, is re- 
melted, the heat being maintained enough to drive off 
any adhering water. When cold, it is finished. 

This may seem troublesome, but you will find it pays, 
as the lard, when perfectly inodorous, will keep better 
and take less perfume of flowers.

BODIES FOR POMADES. 



NO. 1. 

Benzoin Body. 

Leaf Lard, 5 pounds. 

Gum Benzoin, 2 ' f 

Explanation. — By Leaf Lard is meant rendered Lard, 
made from the leaf alone, with no other fat with it. If 
the lard is nicely rendered — that is, if there is no grain 
left and it does not appear to be sandy, it is ready for use ; 
if sandy, it must be melted to the consistency of oil, and 
stirred constantly until cold. When the lard is ready, it 
must be warmed over the water bath until it can be stir- 
red. While warming the Lard, put the Benzoin in eight 
ounces of Alcohol, and warm in a water bath until the 
Gum is dissolved ; then remove the Lard from the water 
bath, and add the Benzoin slowly. This mixture must 
stand for two weeks ; then melt to the consistency of oil ; 
then allow it to cool, and the Benzoin will settle to the 
bottom, and the Lard will retain all the flavor of the 
Benzoin. Always melt over the water bath.

Put the Lard and Tallow over the fire, in a kettle or 
other utensil, add five pounds of Annato Seed, and keep 
on the fire until the pomade is melted to the consistency 
of oil. Your fire must not be too hot, or the materials 
may burn. Watch the oil till you find its color suits you ; 
then put out the fire and strain through a sieve into the 
vessel in which it is to be kept. Stir until it is cold 
enough to add the perfume, which must be thoroughly 
mixed, and then cover till used. Should you at any time 
desire to put it into bottles, warm the pomade by means 
of a water-bath until of a consistency to pour into your 
bottles. The above can be made a lighter yellow by 
adding Curcuma until the desired color is made.

CHAPTEE XXVI. 



TOOTH POWDEKS AND MOUTH WASHES. 



There is scarcely a subject of a personal character so 
sadly neglected and so little understood, by the people in 
general, as the care of the teeth. 

In view of this fact, in 1868 the Dental Society of 
Philadelphia offered a prize for the best essay on the sub- 
ject, the same to be published for the benefit of the pub- 
lic. The prize was awarded for the following rules : 

First. Cleanse your teeth once, or oftener, every day. 
Rinse the mouth after eating. Cleansing the teeth con- 
sists in removing every particle of foreign matter from 
around the teeth and gums. 

Second. To cleanse, use well-made brushes, soft quill 
or wood toothpicks, an antacid styptic tooth wash, and 
precipitated chalk. If these means fail, apply to a reg- 
ular dentist. 

Third. Avoid eating hot food. Thoroughly masticate 
the food, and well salivate it before swallowing. 

Fourth. Parents ought to carefully attend to the child's 
second dentition. Prevail upon your children to visit, at 
frequent intervals, a careful and skillful operator. 

Fifth. Pvemember that four of the permanent double 
teeth come in at the age of six years. They are very 



TOOTH POWDERS AND MOUTH WASHES.

liable to decay early, are very large, and should never be 
allowed to require extracting. 

Sixth. Never allow any one to extract a tooth or dis- 
suade you from having them filled unless absolutely nec- 
essary. 

Seventh. Carelessness and procrastination are respon- 
sible for a large proportion of teeth that are lost. 

The teeth were never intended to take the place of 
nut-crackers, nor to rival scissors in cutting thread. The 
teeth must be taken care of, or your health will suffer. 

Kemember, a clean tooth would not decay in a hundred 
years.

CHAPTEE XXVII. 



TOILET PKEPAKATXONS. 



COLD CREAM. 



Method of Preparing Cold Cream, 

As given by Piesse in his "Art of Perfumery. 

Into a well-glazed, thick porcelain vessel, which should 
be deep in preference to shallow, and capable of holding 
twice the quantity of cream that is to be made, place the 
wax and sperm; now put the jar into a bath of boiling 
water. When these materials are melted, add the oil, 
and again subject the whole to heat until the flecks of 
wax and sperm are liquified; now remove the jar and 
contents, and set it under a runner containing the rose 
water (if you are making Kose Cream) ; the runner may 
be a tin can, with a small tap at the bottom. A stirrer 
must be provided, made of Lance Wood, flat and perfo- 
rated with holes about the size of a ten cent piece, 
resembling in form a large pallette knife. As soon as 
the rose water is set running, the cream must be kept 
agitated until the whole of the water has passed into it ; 
now and then the flow of water must be stopped, and 



444 TOILET PREPARATIONS. 

the cream which sets at the sides of the jar scraped down 
and incorporated with that which remains fluid. 

In winter time it is necessary to slightly warm the 
rose water ; otherwise the cream sets before it is beaten 
enough. 

When the whole of the water has been incorporated, 
the cream will be cool enough to pour into jars for sale ; 
at that time the Otto of Eose is to be added. 

The reason for the perfume being put in at the last 
moment is obvious— the heat and subsequent agitation 
would cause unnecessary loss by evaporation. 

Cold Cream made in this way sets quite firmly in the 
jars into which it is poured, and retains a "face" resem- 
bling pure wax, although one-half is water, retained in

We have given a list of all the principal Sachets that 
are now in use ; however, there are many others, but for 
actual trade purposes there is no advantage in keeping a 
greater variety than those named. There are several 
other substances used in a similar way, and the most 
popular of these is the 

Peau D'Espagne, 

This is a highly perfumed Leather, prepared thus : 
Good, sound pieces of Wash Leather are to be steeped 
in a mixture of Ottos, in which are dissolved some odor- 
iferous gum-resins, Otto of Neroli, Otto of Lavender, 
Otto of Bose, Sandal — of each half an ounce ; Verbena and 
Bergamot, each, quarter of an ounce ; Otto of Cloves and 
Cinnamon, of each two drachms ; all these in half a pint 
of Spirit, in which was dissolved about four ounces of 
Gum Benzoin. Leave the skin in this for a day or two, 
then remove it and squeeze well. Let the skin dry by 
exposure to the air. A paste must be made of one 
-30 



466 SACHET POWDERS. 



draclrm of Civet with one drachm of Grain Musk, and 
enough Gum Acacia to make it spread well. The skin 
must then be cut into pieces four inches square, and the 
paste spread over them. Two pieces must be placed 
together, having the Civet Plaster between them. They 
must then be placed between sheets of paper, and 
pressed. "When dry, place in rolls of silk or satin, and 
finished to the taste. 



CHAPTER XXIX. 



TOILET SOAPS. 



It is a common error to suppose that the perfumer is a 
soap-maker. He is a melter, not a maker, and for his 
use recognizes the following: Curd Soap, Oil Soap, 
Marine Soap, Palm Soap, and several other kinds — the 
process of manufacturing which, is laborious, and too 
tedious to mention here, the better plan being to buy 
them in quantities needed, for the purpose of re-melting. 



Re-Melting Soap. 

Before submitting for your guidance our several for- 
mulas, it will be as well to commence by showing our 
process of re-melting. 

The process is exceedingly simple. The bar Soap is 
first cut up into thin slabs, because it melts more easily. 
The melting-pan is an iron vessel heated by steam or by 
a water bath. Put your Soap into your pan by degrees ; 
that is, the thin slabs of Soap are to be placed perpen- 
dicularly all around the inside of the pan, introducing at 
the same time a few ounces of water. The steam will 
assist the melting. In a short time the Soap wiU run

down, when more slabs, in a similar manner, must be 
introduced, and so continued, every half hour, until the 
whole melting is finished. 

As the Soap melts, in order to mix it and break up 
lumps, it is, from time to time, crutched, that is, stirred 
with an instrument in the form of a crutch or inverted 
(X), curved to fit the curve of the pan. "When the Soap 
is all melted, it is then colored, if so required, and then 
the perfume is added, the whole being thoroughly incor- 
porated with the crutch. The Soap is then turned into a 
frame. The frame is a box made in sections, in order 
that it can be taken to pieces, so that the Soap can be 
cut up when cold. The sections or lifts are frequently 
made of the width of the intended bar of Soap. Two or 
three days after the Soap has been in the frame, it is 
cool enough to cut into slabs of the required size. 

With these requisite preliminaries, we will now intro- 
duce a number of excellent formulas, which can be 
relied on.

Melt the Cocoanut and Tallow Oils over a warm bath, 
then remove and stir until it is milk warm ; then mix 
the Alcohol and Lye together ; then put the Alcohol and 
Lye over the water bath, in one kettle, and the Oils in 
another kettle over the water bath; let them heat for 
about five minutes, but take care they do not boil ; then 
pour the Alcohol and Lye into the Oils, and stir until 
they are well mixed. The Soap will be done when there 
is a scum over the top, or try if it will string down and 
harden if a small portion is tried in a saucer. If it will 
not harden, it is not done. Do not let it boil, or it will 
spoil. When done, pour into a tin can and cool as rap- 
idly as possibly. Mix Perfume in half a pint of Alcohol. 
After the Soap has been put in the can to cool, add one 
pound of Glycerine, and let cool.

Scenting Soaps Cold. 

When Soaps are scented hot they are apt to lose a 
great deal of the perfume by evaporation. Hence the 
adoption of the following : 

After your Soap is cold and as yet unscented, take an 



TOILET SOAPS. 477 



ordinary carpenter's plane and a good marble mortar, 
with pestal. Place the carpenter's plane over the mortar, 
but turn the plane upside down. Take a piece of Soap, 
and push it across the plane, until it is reduced into fine 
shavings. These, of course, fall into the mortar. When 
you have cut a sufficiency, and slightly pounded the Soap 
into a mass and in a proper condition, measure out your 
oils and add them to the mass, thoroughly incorporating 
by again pounding until the Soap is perfectly free from 
streaks and of one uniform consistency. 

For perfuming Soap in large quantities by the cold 
process, it is more convenient to employ a mill of some 
kind similar in construction to a chocolate mill, but any 
kind will do that answers for making paste and crushing- 
lumps. 



CHAPTER XXX. 



WINES AND LIQUORS, 



The custom of cheapening Wines and Liquors has be- 
come quite general ; and so long as the practice is fol- 
lowed, it is desirable to know just how it is accom- 
plished. 

The formulas given in this chapter are identical, or simi- 
lar to those used by the principal rectifiers and dealers, 
of the present day ; and show how Wines and Liquors 
may be so modified as to meet almost any want, without 
the addition of poisonous substances. 

They also serve to show what the careless buyer is apt 
to get, and to remind him that he should be cautious in 
his purchases, as there is nothing in which he will be 
more easily deceived than in the quality of Wines and 
Liquors. 

The basis of most of these formlas is either Pure Brandy, 
Pure Spirits, (Whisky), or Neutral Spirits, (No. 1.)

half pound of Mustard Seed to each 40 gallons. If de- 
sired, bottle and tie down ; adding a little Loaf Sugar to 
each bottle. You will, by this means, obtain an excellent 
article of Cider.

WINE-MAKING. 

Wine making is an art ; and while the process is too 
complicated to admit of all the details being published 
here, and although it may not come strictly within the 
province of the Druggist, still, as he is frequently called 
upon to furnish formulas for "good wines," and should 
certainly desire that good wines only be used, it is 
believed that a few hints may be of value, and not out of 
place. 

First — It is important that the grapes or other fruit 
used should be gathered at the proper time, on dry, 
pleasant days, and carefully handled to prevent bruising 
and decay. 

Second — After the fruit is crushed, the expressed juice 
(must) should be placed only in clean, sweet vessels, and 
closely watched during the process of fermentation. 

Third — The practical production and proper regulation 
of the vinous fermentation constitutes the real art of 
wine-making, as it is here the greatest difficulty is met, 
and the most careful attention and best judgment are 
required to overcome it. Saccharine fermentation first 
takes place, by which starch and gum are converted into 
sugar. Next, alcoholic or vinous fermentation sets in, by 
which the sugar is converted into alcohol. If the fer- 
mentation proceeds too far, the alcohol is converted into 
vinegar and the wine is spoiled. 

Vinous fermentation proceeds most favorably at a tem- 
perature of from 68° to 80° F. If possible, the must 
should be kept at about that, for if the temperature rises 
above 90° the fermentation takes place too fast. If the 
weather is too cool for the sugar to be decomposed, fer- 
mentation can be hastened by the addition of a small 



492 WINES AND LIQUORS. 



quantity of good yeast. Eipe grapes, or other sweet 
fruits, do not usually require this. 

Fourth — After wine is sufficiently fermented, it may be 
racked off into another cask and allowed to remain and 
ripen; or, it may be bottled at pleasure. Have the 
bottles clean and dry, cork well and wire down ; lay the 
bottles on the side, in a dry cellar, kept at a temperature 
of 48° to 60° F. It is best to let wine remain upon the 
lees and ripen for several months before bottling. If 
bottled too soon, the bottles will burst. 

Fifth — If wine is murky it must be clarified by "fining," 
which is done by adding one or two ounces of isinglass, 
dissolved in boiling water, to each barrel, and mixing by 
agitation. Whites of eggs, beaten to a froth, will answer 
the same purpose. 

Sixth — Inordinate fermentation, either primary or sec- 
ondary, may be checked by racking off the wine into a 
cask, previously fumigated by burning a little sulphur in 
it. Another method is to put from one-half pound to 
one pound of bruised mustard seed into each barrel. 
Either process will also remove mustiness from the wine 
or casks. 

Seventh — Actual experience, alone, can furnish the 
amateur wine-maker the knowledge requisite to insure 
complete success in every instance.

CHAPTEK XXXI. 



SACCHAKATED EXTRACTS, 



This class of preparations are being introduced by 
certain persons, who desire to present an easy and pleas- 
ent method of administering medicines ; and a number of 
prominent firms are now engaged in their manufacture. 

Saccharated Extracts are not new remedies — they are 
merely a new form of presenting old ones — but they have 
the merit of furnishing an easy mode of administering 
those remedies in a concentrated form, not likely to 
deteriorate with age ; and they bid fair to become estab- 
lished in public confidence and favor. If this should 
prove to be the case, the list of formulas, here given, will 
be extended in supplement form. 

"The dry, soluble extractive matter of the drug is tritu- 
rated with Sugar of Milk, in such proportions that one 
troy ounce of these Extracts represents one troy ounce of 
the crude drug." 

In these formulas, the fresh Powdered Extracts are to 
be used, unless otherwise specified.

EXPLOSIVE PBESOBIPTIONS. 



[Scientific American.] 

The following prescriptions contain most of the sub- 
stances which have been found to produce explosions. 

Potassium Chlorate and all other chlorates should never 
be prescribed in powder rnixed with organic or inorganic 
combustible or oxidizable bodies. If they are to be used, 
use them separately, and if desired to be combined, make 
them in solution. 

The following are dangerous, and have caused serious 
accidents, although prescribed by physicians.

aid of a gentle heat. In two ounces of this mixture dis- 
solve ten grains of Gum Ammoniac, and while still liquid, 
add half a drachm of Mastic dissolved in three drachms 
of Rectified Spirits. Stir well, and for use, keep the 
Cement liquified in a covered vessel over a hot water bath. 



Cement for Closing Cracks in Stoves. 

This Cement is prepared by mixing finely pulverized 
Iron with Liquid Water Glass, to a thick paste, and then 
coating the cracks with it. The hotter the fire becomes, 
the more does the cement melt and combine with its 
metalic ingredients and the more completely will the 
crack become closed. 



MISCELLANEOUS. 549 



To Remove Inks. 

Black Ink may be removed by applying Solution Chlori- 
nate Soda ; then dilute Acetic Acid, and, lastly, pure soft 
Water. This applies to all inks made from Galls. 

Inks made with Nitrate of Silver can be removed by 
washing with a Solution of Hyphosulphite of Soda, or, by 
moistening with a solution of Bicholoride of Copper, and 
then washing with Aqua Ammonia. It is difficult to dis- 
charge Aniline Inks, by chemical agents. They gradually 
fade by exposure to the light.

Cement for Iron. 

The following Cement is recommended for repairing 
damaged places in Cast Iron Tanks, Cisterns, etc. : Five 
parts Brimstone, two parts Black Lead and two parts of 
Cast Iron Filings, previously sifted, are melted together, 
taking care that the Brimstone does not catch fire. The 
damaged place, perfectly dry, is well heated by laying 
a piece of red hot iron upon it, and is then stopped with 
the Cement previously heated in a melting ladle till it 
becomes soft. 



Cement for Repairing Glass. 

Dissolve fine Glue in strong Acetic Acid to form a thin

Cement to Resist Petroleum. 

A Cement peculiarly adapted to stand Petroleum, or 
any of its distillates, is made by boiling three parts of 
Eesin with one of Caustic Soda and five of Water. This 
forms a Eesin Soap, which is afterwards mixed with 
half its weight of Plaster of Paris, Zinc White, White 
Lead, or Precipitated Chalk. The Plaster hardens in 
about forty minutes.

stirring occasionally; then strain, bottle, cork well, and 
tie down. It should now be kept at a temperature of 70°, 
or under, if possible ; or the bottles may burst. The 
amount of yeast required will depend upon the strength

make it bitter. Some prefer to flavor with a little Ex- 
tract of Lemon, or Vanilla. 

Note. — Koumis was originally made in Kussia, from 
the milk of mares. In this country, cows' milk is substi- 
tuted. It should be drawn with a champagne tap, unless 
a whole bottle is to be used at once. Age is said to in-

Gelatin Bougies. 

[Friedrich's Formula.] 

Melt together over the water-bath, three parts of White 
Gelatin, six parts of Glycerine, and one part of Water. 
If any remedial agent is to be incorporated, this is, if 
possible, dissolved in a little water and added, under con- 
stant stirring with a glass rod. A glass tube of proper 
diameter (about three to five m. m.) is then selected, the 
interior of which is oiled and immersed into the melted 
mass. By gentle suction the tube is filled, immediately 
closed with the finger, and then allowed to cool, which 
takes but a short time. An oiled plug is then inserted 
into one end, and by means of a stout wire or rod the 
Bougie is pushed out at the other end. This is then cut 
into pieces of the proper length. 



Absorbent Cotton. 

[Slocum's Formula.] 

Take of the best quality of carded Cotton Batting any 
desired quantity, and boil it with five per cent, solution 
of Caustic Potassa or Soda for one-half hour, or until 
the Cotton is entirely saturated with the solution and the 
alkali has saponified all oily matter. Then wash 
thoroughly to remove all soap and nearly all alkali ; press 
out the excess of water, and immerse in a five per cent, 
solution of Chlorinated Lime for fifteen or twenty minutes. 
Again wash, first with a little water, then dip in water 
acidulated with Hydrochloric Acid, and thoroughly wash 
with water ; press out the excess of water and again boil 
for fifteen or twenty minutes in a five per cent, solution 
of Caustic Potassa or Soda. Now wash well, dipping in 
the acidulated water and washing thoroughly with pure 
water. Afterward press out and dry quickly. 



606 MISCELLANEOUS. 



Preservation of Leeches. 

Place the Leeches in an earthen-ware vessel, half fill- 
ing it with river or rain water ; into this place a handful 
of well-washed tow. Eenew the water about three times 
a week in summer, and once in winter ; each time wash- 
ing the sides of the vessel well, and wash out the tow 
thoroughly or renew it each time. 



Preservation of Gold-Fish. 

Allow not more than one fish to a quart of water. Use 
the same kind of water — either spring or river — contin- 
ually ; change daily in summer, every other day in winter. 
Use deep rather than shallow vessels, with clean pebbles 
at the bottom. Keep the fish in an even and rather cool 
temperature. Use a small net in handling them, and 
when the water is to be changed, draw it off with a 
syphon. Feed the fish cracker, yolk of an egg, lettuce, 
flies, etc. Do not feed them with bread or cake. They 
require little or no food from November until March. 
Where there is room in the aquarium, always have a few 
water plants growing to preserve the equilibrium; this 
will save changing the water so often.

Rubber Hand Stamps. 

Vulcanized rubber is used, as prepared by the manu- 
facturers, and can be procured in strips any desirable 
width, and about one-half to one inch thick and any 
desired length. The name and address should be set up 
in common printing type, and the type well oiled. A rim 
about half an inch in height should be placed around the 
form, and dentists' plaster, mixed to the proper consist- 
ence, poured in and allowed to set ; then the plaster cast 
is separated from the type. A piece of the soft vulcan- 
ized rubber is then cut, of the size of the plaster mold, 
and laid upon it, and both together are placed in a screw 
press and heat, sufficient to thoroughly soften the rubber, 
is applied. The screw is then turned down hard and left 
for a short time until the rubber is perfectly forced into 
the mold. 

After the whole is cold, the rubber is separated from 
the mold and any irregularities trimmed off with a sharp 
knife. The rubber is then fastened to a block of wood 
with glue or other cement, and the stamp is then ready 
for use. 



624 MISCELLANEOUS. 



Ebonizing- Wood. 

The following is the receipt used by the furniture 
manufacturers for the now popular style of Ebonized 
Wood: 

Logwood Chips, 8 ounces. 

Copperas, J ounce. 

Lamp Black, \ " 

Water, sufficient. 
Boil the Logwood for one-half hour in a gallon of 
water, and then add the Copperas and Lamp Black. 
Apply to the Wood hot, giving a number of coats. In 
varnishing Ebonized Wood, a little Drop Black must be 
added to the Varnish, or it will give a brown shade. 



Suppositories. 

These are sometimes prescribed, and every druggist 
should be familiar with their uses and understand how 
to make them. They are generally made of Cocoa Butter, 
with which the remedial agents prescribed are to be incor- 
porated. This is frequently done by means of machines 
made for the purpose, some of which are useful, working- 
well, while others are worthless. Where a machine is 
not at hand, the Suppositories may be made by taking 
the Cocoa Butter — sufficient to make from one to two 
drachms for each Suppository — and shaving it fine, then 
rubbing up thoroughly, with the other ingredients, in a 
mortar, until an even mass is produced. In cold weather 
it will need to be slightly warmed, being careful not to 
melt it. When the mixture is about the consistence of a 
pill-mass, it may be rolled out, divided equally, and 
made into cones by the use of the spatula and pill-tile. 
Powdered Elm is used to dust them while being made ; 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



625 



the work must be performed quickly and with some care. 
A little practice will enable one to produce uniform and 
handsome Suppositories in this manner, and it is a saving 
of time ; still it is better to use the moulds if they are 
good ones. 

Following are some of the remedies used in the form of 
Suppositories, and the proportions usually prescribed :

Heat and Cold. 

The thermometer used in this country is that of 
Fahrenheit. By the scale of this instrument, the freez- 
ing point of water is 32°, and the boiling point 212°. To 
convert the degrees of Fahrenheit into those of Centi- 
grade, deduct 32, multiply by 5, and divide by 9. 

To convert the degrees of Centigrade into those of 
Fahrenheit, multiply by 9, divide by 5, and add 32. 

When a boiling heat is directed, a temperature of 212° 
F. is meant. 

When a gentle heat is directed, a temperature of from 
90° to 100°, F., is meant.
